Pardons are a recurring topic in the January 6 select committee public hearings. We've learned that Trump's treasonous lawyer John Eastman requested one but did not receive one. Rep. Scott Perry and other Republican members of Congress sought presidential pardons for their involvement in the insurrection. We learned that Trump offered Kellyanne Conway an unsolicited blanket pardon. We also learned that Jared Kushner was working feverishly on getting out as many pardons as possible before the end of his father-in-law's term.

Former federal prosecutor and current law professor Kim Wehle just published a deep-dive piece on the pardons in Politico, titled, "Trump's Pardon Abuses Expose the Myth of Unlimited Presidential Power."

This video uses Kim Wehle's piece as a jumping off point for a discussion about secret "pocket" pardons, pardons of co-conspirators and presidential self-pardons.

This video also explores the various data points the suggest Donald Trump deliver pocket pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
